Blogs from Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, South America - page 3

We’re off on our travels again – this time to South America, starting in Rio de Janeiro. It’s a long journey; our first day, having already spent 2 hours on a coach, consists of 13 hours of flying plus 4 hours at various airports, finishing with an hour taxi ride. I have a heavy cold. I can think of better ways to spend the day, like tucked up in bed with a mansize box of tissues watching daytime TV. But at least everything is punctual and I get the chance the read the Tattooist of Auschwitz in one sitting. We fly via Madrid with less than an hour between flights. After landing, I see the old man get my bag out of the overhead locker, then we get separated by a crazy lady who decides to ... read more

We are getting use to South American time. Went down to breakfast at 9.30am and back to write blog before meeting with Pierre at 10 45am. We hopped into an uber to go to one of the areas that was redeveloped for the Olympics. Unfortunately most of the museums are closed Mondays (as usual) so we just had a walk around the new Museum of Tomorrow which is next to the Brazilian Naval base. The uber driver was a wealth of local knowledge and told Pierre to take us to the Church and Monastery of Sao Bento (St. Benedict) so we found our way there via an entry through a modern building and up a lift. The church is one of the oldest churches in Rio and looks fairly plain on the outside but what a ... read more

Dann war es also soweit, es war Samstag den 29.9 und somit der Start zu meiner 3.5 monatigen Reise durch Süd- und Mittelamerika. Ebenfalls war dies noch der Geburtstag meiner lieben Schwester, an dieser Stelle nochmals alles Gute. Die beiden Flüge Zürich-Frankfurt und Frankfurt-Rio de Janeiro liefen trotz kurzer Umsteigezeit in Frankfurt einwandfrei ab und ich kam planmässig sonntags morgen in Rio an. Nach kurzer Erholung im Hostel fing ich an die Stadt zu erkundigen. Zuerst ein kurzer Spaziergang am berühmten Copacabana Strand entlang. Danach ging es weiter auf den Berg Corcovado mit der weltberühmten Christus Statue. Die Aussicht vom Berg war dank dem klaren Wetter absolut fantastisch. Getrübt wurde die Aussicht nur durch die unzähligen Touristen die sich ebenfalls auf der Aussichtsplatform befanden. Trotzdem sah man die beiden Strände, Copacabana und Ipanema und natürlich den ... read more

Here we are, back on the road after nearly 7 weeks at home! It's finally back to South America, a first for Tanya! My first visit to Rio de Janeiro was back in 2002. It was in July, and I was on the beach of Copacabana the day Brazil won the World Cup in Tokyo. Nothing of this in 2018 as Belgium beat them in quarter finals! That day back in July 2002 was crazy. I watched the match on the beach, with hundreds of foreign journalist crews...and when the match was over, I rushed to the Corcovado....to hear the city singing to their World Cup win....what a day, it was pure magic, and slightly insane too! Since 2002, I came back 3 or 4 times, but today it's a first for Tanya. This was actually ... read more

Desculpe o trocadilho do título. Mas é que não aguentei mesmo... As chamadas landing pages são fundamentais dentro de uma estratégia de marketing na web, porque eles são projetados especificamente com o objetivo de aumentar os contatos e vendas. Mas ... o que é uma landing page? A página de destino (ou de aterrissagem = Landing) é uma página da Web que o usuário acessa depois de clicar em um link ou anúncio. É um dos elementos centrais de qualquer atividade de marketing na Web, pois permite que os usuários sejam transformados em clientes em potencial. Qualquer outra página da Web que ofereça conteúdo gratuito, mas sem um método de coletar contatos (consulte " Geração de leads ") ou que incentive o usuário a realizar qualquer ação (por exemplo, baixar um aplicativo, registrar-se para um evento, ... read more
